Citibank Security Guard Punches Peaceful Climate Activist in Face
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, a climate protester was taken to the hospital
Wednesday after a Citibank security guard punched him in the face while
he was documenting a peaceful demonstration as part of the "Summer of
Heat" campaign. Climate activists have been taking peaceful actions at
Citibank's Manhattan headquarters all summer. Citibank has invested
nearly $400 billion into fossil fuel projects since the Paris Climate
Agreement was adopted in 2015.
